Amos, my friend: Or perhaps I should begin with, Amos, my distinguished friend from the state of California, since that's how the Senators handle it, you state in your post of 1:39 P.M. today: "Senators and Congressmen have always had a hard time getting clear dope from the Intelligence community."

Yet, Mudcatters present as "facts" stuff they read on the Internet and are convinced that what they read is unaltered truth! You are making my point!

The information Nicole supplied to me from the Internet is readily available to anybody with a computer. I would be shocked to learn that the office of every Senator and Congressman is not equipped with computers. Why, oh why, don't the legislators rely on those same sources to defeat legislation they do not wish to have passed?

You probably are dying to know why I think they don't. Okay, I'll tell you. BECAUSE IT IS NOT CREDIBLE!

Any United States Senator could have used the information Nicole supplied me to completely demolish any chances the president might have had to gain the powers he was seeking via the Resolution. But no Senator, no Congressman did.

Why?
